I came to see her daddy for sit down man to manIt wasn't any secret i'd be asking for her handI guess that's why he left me waiting in the living room by myselfwith at least a dozen pictures of her sitting on a shelf

- Chorus -

She was playing CinderellaShe was riding her first bikeBouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fightRunning through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grinDancing with her dad, looking up at himIn her eyes i'm Prince CharmingBut to him i'm just some fellariding in and stealing Cinderella

I leaned in towards those pictures to get a better look at oneWhen I heard a voice behind me say "Now, ain't she something, son?"I said "Yes, she quite a woman"and he just stared at meThen I realized that in his eyes she would always be

Playing CinderellaRiding her first bikeBouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fightRunning through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grinDancing with her dad, looking up at himIn her eyes i'm Prince CharmingBut to him i'm just some fellariding in and stealing Cinderella

He slapped me on the shoulderThen he called her in the roomWhen she threw her arms around himThat's when I could see it too

Playing CinderellaRiding her first bikeBouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fightRunning through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grinDancing with her dad, looking up at himIf he gives me a hard timeI can't blame the fellaI'm the one who's stealing Cinderel

Okay, you made me cry. And I am not the only one. This is very touching. You'll know exactly what I mean when someone comes to steal away your little girl. Meanwhile, I don't know how I can be so happy and yet so sad at the same time.

You will always be my Uncle Jerry. I can't put into words everything that is in my heart without getting too mushy, but I will say this: it heals my heart to know my Uncle Jerry feels that way about me. You may not be at the wedding in person, but you will be there with me in spirit because you have 10 times more right to be there than my "dad".
